What does the community think? I was kind of worried about that as well, but I think we'll really have to wait and see on that. If "control" just means that the events will have to follow certain tournament/quality regulations and throw the WCS logo on to all of their splash screens, that's fine with me. If it's a lot more than that, obviously that's potentially very problematic. | ||

I think I know why he has been losing so much and it might have to do with his mindset and focus. | ||

The ladder qualifiers has a game requirement (200 wins) to be eligible and not a residency requirement. | ||

Korea isn't in China, SEA, or Oceania, or the other countries listed. -_-;; | ||

A full offline ro32 is the best situation for WCS NA if flights aren't paid for by blizzard because this would region lock America much more than blizzard's stupid new system ever will. I mean it would region lock it sure but you aren't gonna give very much chance to any American who does not play full time. It completely destroys any chance of up and comers. | ||

He is such a drama queen at times. | ||

I too thought that a offline ro32 would serve a similar purpose to the current soft lock, but it looks like this is better because of the points you raise. | ||

Also at some point we have to accept that WCS might not be the place for part time players. There isn't a lot in NA, but we can't low the level of competition so low that people playing part time can be sure to have a chance. | ||

Unless there's some aspect of what he's trying to point out that I'm not grasping, it doesn't seem like there's actually an issue here...? Edit: lol Never mind! Saw the South East Asia thing. Silly Huk! | ||

Oh deleted, looks like he decided to read the rules and maybe ask someone if he was right. Seriously, he is like a walking PR "Do not do this" lesson. Do not post blogs about rules that you read once Do not freak out on twitter about rules that are clearly more detailed that in the press release Do not assume things about the rules without consulting with someone. | ||
